About this deal

I expected and would have liked it to be an actual canon and serious manga, but it's not the end of the world. Even if you're not a fan of this type of humor, you gotta respect the effort in making this world feel lived in and involved. However, I think this manga is best suited for people who have played the original game and are interested in something a little less serious. Disclosure: Kadokawa World Entertainment (KWE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kadokawa Corporation, is the majority owner of Anime News Network, LLC. Yen Press, BookWalker Global, and J-Novel Club are subsidiaries of KWE.

It's a __comedy__ manga. It featured a single real fight in 11 chapters and it basically lasted 2 pannels.

Der Elden Ring er inspirert av mørke, seriøse verdener som Berserk og a Song of Ice and Fire feiler denne adaptasjonen helt på å fange magien som denne verdenen bør ha. Det er rett og slett for tonedøft og det får meg til å slite på å tro på verdenen. Jeg føler dette hadde vært en Manga som hadde vært bedre om all teksten hadde vært borte som er litt trist. The fact that they made the main character a __player__, I don't know if it plays in favor of or against the manga. They break the 4th wall and make it clear that the tarnished main character is a player like us. He doesn't know why he's here and wants to "level up", etc., yet there's no indication that it's a game. I don't know how to feel about it, maybe it'll tie well with the game, but I'm sure it'll make people feel more immersed in some sense because it reflect actual player thoughts during the game. I know what you might be thinking: "There's a new Elden Ring DLC out? What is Road to the Erdtree?" No, we've still got an undetermined amount of time before we can play some new Elden Ring content, but at the very least, you can enjoy what might just be the most ridiculous manga I've read. Sure, the foundation of Elden Ring could probably lend itself fine to a straight manga adaptation, but where would the fun be in that? Communicating comprehensive lore is a job for a wiki; what we really enter the realm of Souls games for is to be screwed with. And The Road To The Erdtree is as enthusiastic about screwing with its main character, and thus the reader, as FromSoft's Game Of The Year was about messing with its players.

For å starte med det som er bra igjen. Noen av karakterene er relativt OK gjennomført i form av hvordan de faktisk er og hvor vidt det matcher sånn de skal være. Patches for eksempel og Varre er akkurat sånn jeg ønsket de skulle være. Det å se Roderika og Rogier på slutten var også kult.The Road to the Erdtree is basically a gag manga that embodies what it would actually feel like for a random person with amnesia to wake up in this world and be told you need to take on all of these incredibly difficult bosses. It is not subtle; it breaks the fourth wall pretty consistently and relies on a lot of deadpan, reactionary humor from characters you might not expect. Your mileage on that might vary, but as someone who has gone through about 50 hours worth of gameplay, I cannot help but feel like this embodies my state of mind whenever I want to throw my controller against the wall. It also helps that the manga is brimming with detail and life. I say that because many might come to think that it's some fan-made nonsense, because the tone of the manga will probably take most Elden Ring fans by surprise. If you would like an Elden Ring adaptation to be faithful to the game's tone (serious), you might be disappointed as I am. However if you like how something very serious can be turned into light-hearted banter, you'll probably like it a lot, especially if you played the game yourself. There's actual references to __gameplay strategy__ (i.e. using soap consummable) and __building your character__ (building strength or int).
